Week 24

July 7

The Commander has been busy puttering around the garden so no work on the course the last few days.

@bradleymorris, I had thought about it, but with it being 90F+ and the fact the Commander doesn’t go anywhere without his leather jacket, I decided not too. I may yet though.

@bradleymorris LOL.  My day job is taking all my time the last few weeks, but hope to get back to working on my course again this weekend. I am thinking about creating a mini-lesson that I can start to use as part of the promotion.

Week 25-26

July 22

My day job has been taking a huge amount of my time the last couple of weeks. Going to try to figure out how I can carve out some time to work on my course, GSM, and my case business.  I shot the Green Screen Magic Video 2 clips weeks ago, just haven’t had time to edit those into a finished video, let alone shoot the 3 video.  I plan to create a mini-lesson for the AudioNemisis course – this will give me a chance to market with and get some customer feedback. I’ll get there.

July 25

Got together with my chief collaborator Henry. He was handling the screen shots of the Commander, creating the backgrounds…so good, I hope to share a bit in the next few days.

July 27

Hoping to shoot more videos for the Audio Nemesis tomorrow, all depends on whether I can get a Hannibal Lecter mask for Dr. Dreadful in time. May have to wait till next week. Finally found a bean bag for the last shot of the Commander. Then it’s onto dropping Nigel Cuthbert Jigglybottom (aka Q) into his setting.  Tonight it is more surfing the net for ideas on what I want certain backdrops to look like. It can really take time.

Week 27

July 28

Got Doctor Dredful’s mask ready and capture a test shot to see how it looks. Let me know what you think. Should be able to start shooting Module 3 videos with the Doc next week.

Thought I would share one of the Commander videos.

@xbobby, Hannibal Lecter is the inspiration for Dr Dredful, but the person in the picture will not be available for awhile. I shot another test shot with my second son and he may be an even better candidate to play him.

@bradleytmorris, I may not have the time to do the whole LearnDash approach for the Audio Nemesis, so I may look into hosting on the eCourse Adventure Network.

@mars, thanks for the kind words and feedback. My day job has been just sucking up all my time. I also have a synthesizer convention next month and I have to get product ready for that. I also build modular synthesize cases on the side (http://etherealsun.com), although I have decided to liquidate my existing stock and just build a custom/bespoke case now and then. Trying to figure out how to get my course back on track and completed.

I have been working on the theme music for Dr Dredful, so I have been doing something towards my course.

I did decided to invest in the full Adobe suite, they had a deal for $30/month which was unbelievable good. Had my video guy using it, which helped get the commander video done. Once I get through the first week of September, things should return to hectic from insane.

Week 31

August 25

August has been an overly busy month in my day job. I have to find smaller chunks of time to sneak in to keep this course moving. A bit over subscribed at the moment. Thank all for the comments and encouragement, it helps.

Sorry @xbobby & @mars I haven’t been on the mountain this month to encourage your progress. Bo I see you are in the top #5 now, well done. Still hovering at #12. Don’t know why that is important to me, but I do find the gamification aspect of GEA fun and stimulating.

It would be fascinating to get in insight to the world you’ve done @stavido I loved watched your videos that you’ve shared here! I actually looked for your course when I first signed up as well!

Thanks Jonathan @jonathan@jste, I need to check out what you are doing.
